Blackburn Rovers will host Swansea City at Ewood Park on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have performed well in the league this season although they have hit a rough patch in recent games and now sit eighth in the table with 15 points from nine matches.
They were beaten 2-1 by Plymouth Argyle last time out and looked set to be headed toward a point on the road following a late leveler from Joe Rankin-Costello before their opponents reclaimed the lead deep into additional time.
Swansea City, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remain in the top half of the pile. They played out a goalless draw against Stoke City in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing, particularly in the first half.
The visitors now sit 11th in the league standings with 12 points from nine matches and will be looking to add to that tally when they play this weekend.
